Star Wars….Only at Sears

Another Christmas page that made me crazy, those “exclusive” figures came on these weird shrunk wrapped cards and it drove me crazy tracking them down as a kid.

Now, I wish I’d kept them as they’re worth a bundle.

The first Star Wars figures I ever got were bought at a Sears in a shopping mall. My family and I still shop there, and I tell my niece "This is where Luke Skywalker and R2-D2 came from".

The Death Star playset made by Palitoy is so different from the one made by Kenner.
